HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Oct. 29).
Have you considered going into business for yourself, in a field with a lot of completion and new beginnings? Just as you get one project done, another comes along to take its place. If your goal is to make your family more secure, you will succeed. How
ever, don't quit your day job right away. Give it at least a couple of months in order to minimize the risk.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
You're in control again, but are you happy? Or
are you out to make things happen, and once
they happen, then you'll be happy? Be a strateg-
ist as well as a dreamer, and you'll get results
sooner.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
Caution is advised. Let somebody else make all the noise and draw all the attention. Hire someone to voice your opinion. Just do the job you do well and ignore the controversy. You'll profit.
gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 9.
You're rarin't to go, and so are your friends. They need your advice, and you need their support.
Sometimes you feel like you can't do it all by yourself. Why try? It's more fun with a team.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is 7.
All of a sudden you aren't able to do as much as you want. Have you overstepped your boundaries, or just pushed past your old limits? The latter is probably the case. Take notes.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
You've just been blessed with a booster shot of enthusiasm, and not a moment too soon. Overwhelmed by problems you're facing? Not any more. Friends want to help, and you're now willing to let them. Full speed ahead!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
There's work to be done and money to be made.
The more money you stash away now, the more you'll have later, when you really need it. It seems simple, but it takes discipline. This is a great day to practice.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
You seem to be back to normal, but there are strange forces at work. Someone else's magnetic energy is pulling at you, tugging you out of your reverie. This individual is definitely worth further study, even if you've known each other for years.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
The work has stacked up, but you'll be through it in no time. Are you able to do it faster than before, or does it just seem that way? If you push hard, you could earn a bonus.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dac. 21) — Today is an 8.
You may not be quite ready to go back to work.
You're well rested and have plenty of energy,
but now you'd rather play. Around Wednesday
you'll be ready to concentrate. This is a good day for sales calls, though. Making new friends is a snap.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
What you'r really like to do is stay in bed all day
and read. The next-best thing would be to read
something your boss or teacher has assigned.
Schedule accordingly.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Practical considerations compete with wild-
eyed idealism. Being a dreamer is easy. Getting
paid for it is the challenge. If anybody can do it,
you can. Ask for the money.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
All of a sudden you're full of enthusiasm again.
So what if the project you've taken on is harder than you thought it would be? So what if some of the things you tried didn't work? It all counts as a magnificent learning experience.
Rowing team struggles with season's first test
By Brent Wasko
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas rowing team faced its first true test of the fall season, and its lack of earlier competitive racing experience showed.
The Jayhawks raced two eight-boats yesterday at the Head of the Iowa Regatta in Iowa City, Iowa.
Coach Rob Catloth said the Kansas boat with more experienced rowers finished in 10th place out of 27 teams with a time of 14:53.59. The second boat, with more power, ended up finishing 12th with a time of 14:57.50.
"I think this race shows that we have a lot to work on," Catloth said. "We're still a very young team and have a long way to go."
Big 12 Conference rival Kansas State also raced at the regatta, crossing the finish line in third place with a time of 14:38.51. Wisconsin's top boat claimed the regatta title, finishing with a time of 14:12.06.
Catloth said Wisconsin's program focused on the fall portion of the season, which had no
effect on a team's national ranking.
"Wisconsin is always quite a bit faster than we are at this time of year," he said. "I would be highly disappointed if these were our results in the spring. Results are not that important right now, but we still want to race well."
Kansas battled winds of up to 20 mph, which Catloth said caused the race water to become choppy. He said the Jayhawks struggled to row in the harsh wind.
"I don't think they handled it
"The last half mile of the race hurt us. We have to learn to mentally ignore the conditions."

Kansas will get another opportunity to race against Kansas State next Saturday at the Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan. The race will end in Jayhawks' fall season.
very well," Catloth said. "The last half mile of the race hurt us. We have to learn to mentally ignore the conditions."
Two Kansas novice boats also raced at the event. The novice four-boat took third place out of 18 teams with a time of 18:58.57. The novice eight-boat finished 12th out of 28 teams with a time of 18:00.56.

and Ashleigh Doman of Oklahoma State The other Kansas doubles teams were bounced from the tournament in the second round.
Senior Cheryl Mallaiah and freshman Paige Brown lost to New Mexico's Michelle Heidbrink and Sandy Lukowski, 5-8. Sophomores Kristen and Courtney Steinbock, who were the second-seeded doubles tandem, were dismissed by Colorado State's Sanja Hanssen and Catherine Sulivan, 8-9.
"We put pressure on ourselves to win the tournament, but not so much to cost us the match," Courtney said. "We didn't capitalize on key points. I thought we played pretty well."
Courtney said the pressure of being the No.2 seed did not directly trigger the loss.

"They now know what they have to do to build up for San Diego, spring season and conference play."
Fourteenth-seeded Mallaiah fell to Jana Sedivec of Tulsa, 3-6, 6-4, 1-6. Tulsa's Alicia Pillay defeated Brown, 2-6, 3-6. Haylock lost to St. Louis's Vickie Zeilinski, 3-6, 7-6, 3-6.
Louis Vickery Brigham Young's Lisa Khoudarorova beat Courtney Steinbock in the Jayhawks' only consolation singles match, 6-7, 1-6.
Amy Hall, assistant coach, said despite the team's struggles, Kansas players could take some positives away from the tournament.
"The competition got tough, having to play No.1 and No.2 players from each school," Hall said. "They now know what they have to do to build up for San Diego, spring season and conference play."
The Jayhawks conclude their fall season at the University of San Diego Invitational Nov. 9-11.
Note: The Steinbock twins will be guests today from 5:15 to 6 p.m. on the sports radio show "The Bench" on KJHK 90.7 FM with hosts Ryan Greene, Chris Wristen and Michael Rigg. They will talk about their recent performance and the fall season.
